l FIRE-ANNIHILATOR.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 257,595, dated May-9,1882. Application filed December 3l, 1851. (No model.)

.To all whom it may concerne:

Beit known that I, IsIDoR `Kl'lslinr., a citizen of the United States,residing at Cincinnati, in the county of Hamilton and State of Ohio,have invented a new and useful Improvement in Fire-Annihilators, ofwhich the following is a specification.

My invention relates to improvements in fire-annihilators in whichseveral chemicals are held in separation and are discharged into acommon reservoir, where they commingle and constitute a requiredfire-extinguishing gas or vapor.

My invention is an improvement on my applications for Letters Patentfiled on or about the 7th and 25th of November and on or about i the12th of December, 1881.

V chambers of a building.

Referring to the drawing which accompanies i this application, and whichis a vertical sectional view, A is a generatingreservoir. B is a tiltingshelf. O C are vessels having looselitting covers c c, adapted tocontain chemicals in separation, resting. on the tilting shelf B, whichlshelf is held in position by a cord, E.

"T is a pipe one end of which is connected with and opens into thegenerating-reservoir, and from thence extends through the several Thispipe has openings f, which openings are covered with easily-fusible capsG. Each of the fusible caps G retains in position a weight, H, fastenedby a suitable mechanical device to a short cord, e, the other terminalend of the short cord e being fastened to a sliding ring, I. The pipe Fis provided internally with sounding alarmwhistles K. rlhe pipe F shouldhave one or more of the openings f, with attached fusible caps G, andweights H in each chamber of a building.

The tilting shelf' should he somewhat smaller in size than theinteriorof the generating-reservoir, so that it will readily turn therein, andsaid generator should preferably contain a given quantity of material,adapted to combine with the several chemicals contained in the vesselsG, which, when brought in contact, form a required gas or vapor.

The generating-reservoir can bcplaeed inV any part otl a building. Ihave found by exstory is the preferable location.

When, by the rise of temperature in any room supplied with my device,one of the fusible caps G is melted, the weight H is immediatelyreleased and falls downward outside of the pipe F. The ring I can onlyslide upon the cord E a short distance, and the weight will forthwithwithdraw a portion of thel cord E through the openings j' and cause thetilting shelf to turn and upset the vessels C and discharge theircontents into the reservoir,-

wliere the several chemicals will combine and constitute the requiredtire-extinguishing gas or vapor, which will immediately rise in the pipeF, and during its passage therein will sound the alarm-whistles K. lIhegenerating Avapor or gas will eventually escape through the aperturesthat have been opened by the melting of the fusible caps G.

Having now fully described my invention, what I claim is- 1. In alire-annihilator, a generatingresen voir having a tilting shelf held inposition by a retaining-cord provided with independent,

branch cords, said branch cords having end weightsembedded withinfusible substance, substantially as described.

42. In a re-annihilator, a generating-reservoir having a tilting shelfsupplied with ves sels containing chemical reagents in separation,suspended by a cord having independent sliding branch cords, each ofsaid branch cords'having a terminal weight embedded within fusiblesubstance, substantially as de -l scribed.

3. In a fire-annihilating dev1ce, a conduitpipe connected with andopening into a gen-` IOO 6. The combination, in n lire-nnnihilating Fbeing further provided with internal sonnddevice, of' ingenMating-reservoir, A, provided l ing alarm-Whistles, K, oord E, andbranch 1o with ai tilting shelf, B, and vessels C, snpcords e, as andfor the pnpose intended,sub plied with separa-te chemicals, adapted,when stantially as described. brought into Contact, to generate nfire-extinguishing gas, with a conduit-pipe, F, having l openings f,closed with fusible seals G, which i seals retain in position Weights H,said pipe l ISIDOR KITSEE,
